Ingredients

2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter, divided into 1 c and 1/2 c
2 1/2 cups graham crackers, crushed
1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt, plus more for topping bars
2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided into 1 1/2 c and 1/2 c

1. Step 1In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar, 1 c peanut butter, graham crackers and salt. Stir until combined. Fold in 1/2 c miniature chocolate chips.
2. Step 2Line a 9”x13” pan with parchment paper, spritzing the edges with cooking spray. Pour mixture into pan, spreading in an even layer. Freeze at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
